The Good Things Guy Brent Lindeque gets real about opportunity, success and all things good
IN JUST THREE YEARS, Brent Lindeque went from your average nine to-fiver to ‘The Good Things Guy’ – a radio host, TV personality, inspirational speaker and curator of all things, well, good.
In times that can seem so trying, The Good Things Guy is an uplifting local platform that enlightens viewers with ‘upworthy’ news and inspiring stories from South Africa and the rest of the world.
‘I feel like I’m part of something so much bigger now,’ Lindeque says of this almost accidental career path. ‘For the first time in my life, I believe that I have truly found my passion.’
So how did he find himself in this incredible position? It all started in 2014, when the online world was going nuts for NekNominations, and the madness had just hit South Africa. For those who may have forgotten, ‘Neck and Nominate’ was an online drinking game that required participants to film themselves drinking an alcoholic beverage in one gulp, upload the footage onto the internet and then nominate a friend to do the same, creating a chain of events with a viral effect.
